Properties |
|
Simulation |
|
Addr 0 |
| Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 0. | |
|
|
Addr 1 |
| Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 1. | |
|
|
Addr 2 |
| Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 2. | |
|
|
Addr 3 |
| Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 3. | |
|
|
Hardware |
|
Scan |
| Request a scan of the currently connected hardware to detect what Velleman boards are connected and at what addresses. Where hardware is not detected at an addess, a System Panel simulation will be used instead where one has been requested in the properties. | |
